Trump: If I wanted to fire Mueller last year, I would have fired him

President Trump tweeted this morning that this week's New York Times report that he wanted to fire Special Counsel Bob Mueller in December is "Fake News from a biased newspaper!"

Throwback Thursday: It's the second timeTrump has singled out the Times in two days. On Wednesday, he tweeted a denial of part of a Times story on cash his foundation received from a Ukrainian businessman for a speech, but did not deny the speech or the source of the foreign cash.
